I would support a new rule prohibiting continually posting the same recycled post in numerous scarcely related threads. If the poster wants to make that point he should start a thread about it and argue his case there without spamming so many other threads. It would be good to warn him before banning him though.

maybeUSA sounds exactly like a troll. No man with dignity would call himself a loser and accept the label "loser." maybeUSA says that he accepts that he is a loser. A man could have little sense of self-worth, no pride, and genuinely believe he is a loser, but the odds are more likely that account is a troll (and probably a feminist troll).

Almost every post by maybeUSA been the opposite of being happy (anywhere), has no thought involved, and has all the signs of a troll.

Some men have been thoroughly defeated by various systems depending on how badly they are ostracized by them. As a heterosexual Black man with yellow fever who has been to Japan and Taiwan, I totally understand how that could come about.

Now we have a couple of trolls that have been plaguing these forums for the past 2 weeks.

Get rid of them.

Their posts sound just like the troll posts that I have seen on other websites.

You know who they are, the one who keeps on saying that black men are hated everything and don't do well when traveling.

He sounds just like a troll that we banned a few weeks ago and I have seen someone on other forums and blogs saying the same exact words.

Stop laying with these pests and take them out!

Well, I told you what would happen with this site...But no! People were, instead, attacking me as a moderator for doing my job. LOL.

I think you should ban people because as a mod you have to lay down the law but Primebait was kind of cool.

The disturbing thing is that a lot of these trolls are actually females from mostly female boards and some of them are trolls that you see on other blogs and forums who make the almost the same identical posts.

These trolls go to website to website trolling with the same style of writing!

I dont know the relevant specifics that SilverEnergy is referring to, but I do agree with Cornfed's proposition for a general rule.

I did see this kind of behavior in the past, and it is annoying, and it distracts from the thread in question. Tighter moderation is the answer.

Wouldnt work unless you were prepared to do it to Winston too. We all do it, including Winston, and yes probably including me...

+1 or delete off-topic posts

Winston wrote:I already gave ChampionKaji a warning about that, that he should contribute content other than the same thing over and over again about how being black sucks.

I also gave Cornfed a warning about racist posting against blacks. So far, he has heeded it and been ok.

SilverEnergy, if you don't like someone, you can always put them on ignore.

Most people here were against the banning of that group. You should respect the wishes of the majority.

Out of the four you had banned, I agreed with 2 of them.

I was mainly talking about these miscellaneous people who pop up out of no where.

Those miscellaneous trolls like maybeUSA were just here to fire some shots at us. They are not here to be long term posters. They just like to rile us up and then leave. That's been their pattern. So no need to worry about them. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill.
